Good luck on exams!

Something most of us can use right about now :)


DUA’As BEFORE STUDYING

Allahumma infa’nii bimaa ‘allamtaniiwa 'allimnii maa yanfa’ unii.
Oh Allah! Make useful for me what You taught me and teach me knowledge that will be useful to me.

Allahumma inii as’aluka fahmal-nabiyyen wa hifthal mursaleenal-muqarrabeen.
Oh Allah! I ask You for the understanding of the Prophets and the memory of the Messengers, and those nearest to You.

Allahumma ijal leesanee ‘amiran bi thikrika wa qalbi bikhashyatika.
Oh Allah! Make my tongue full of Your remembrance, and my heart with consciousness of You.

Innaka ‘allah ma-tasha’-u qadeer wa antahasbun-allahu wa na’mal wakeel.
(oh Allah!) You do whatever You wish, and You are my Availer and Protector and the best of aid.

DUA’A AFTER STUDYING

Allahhumma inni astaodeeuka ma qara’tu wamahafaz-tu. Faradduhu ‘allaya inda hagati elayhi. Innaka ‘allah ma-tasha’-u qadeer wa antahasbun-allahu wa na’mal wakeel.
Oh Allah! I entrust You with what I have read and I have studied. (Oh Allah!) Bring it back to me when I am in need of it. (Oh Allah!) You do whatever You wish, and You are my Availer and Protector and the best of aid.

DUA’A WHILE STUDYING SOMETHING DIFFICULT

Allahhumma la sahla illama ja-‘altahu sahla wa anta taj ‘alu al hazana etha shi’ta sahla.
Oh Allah! Nothing is easy except what You have made easy. If You wish, You can make the difficult easy.

DUA FOR ANXIETY

Allahhumma inni a’oodhoo bika minal-hammi-walhazan. Wa’ a’oodhoo bika min’al-ghammi-wal-kasal. Wa’aoodhoo bika min’al jubni wal bukhl. Wa’aoodhoo bika min ghalabatid-dayni-waqarir rijaal.
Oh Allah! I seek refuge in You from worry and grief, from helplessness and laziness, from cowardice and stinginess, and from overpowering of debt and from oppression of men.
